A school near Manchester has banned its pupils from any physical contact with each other whatsoever, including hugging and play fighting.

Mossley Hollins High School brought in the ‘no contact’ rule stating that ‘no student should ever be touching another student’.

However, its introduction has proved controversial with many saying it is overly ‘harsh’ by giving such a blanket ban. ‘So, all we have done, is turn our 25-years of good practice into an easy-to-follow rule to help our younger students pick up on what our primaries would normally have had the time to show them.’

Emma Halpin, who left the school in 2019, says ‘nobody seems to be in favour’ of the no contact directive.

Presumably that means not teacher can ever touch any student, or any other teacher then?
